Shares of Texas Pacific Land Corp. were trading sharply lower on Wednesday, leaving them on track for their worst decline in years.
Texas Pacific stock fell 15% to $1,339.30 in afternoon trading, on pace for its largest percentage decrease since 2020, according to Dow Jones Market Data. It was also the worst performer in the S&P 500.
The company, which owns significant acreage in the energy-rich Permian Basin, joined the S&P 500 index before the start of trading on Nov. 26, replacing Marathon Oil.
Marathon was dropped because it was purchased by ConocoPhillips in a deal that closed last month.
Since the close of trading Nov. 25, Texas shares have fallen 17%.
